That's sad. We are American, but why don't people want to honor their European roots?

Yeah. Sadly a lot people don't want to think of themselves as Europeans or of European descent, specially in the US. Just look at how the absolute majority of those of German descent don't speak any German at all, for instance.

Really? It's not surprising when you consider that, from what I understand, a large portion of the population of the south, pre-civil war, was black (i.e. slaves), having a look at the chart in this link states that the black population in the lower south in 1860 made up 43.1% of the population there...

...so after the civil war ended the majority simply stayed in the South, hence the large numbers. I thought it was widely known that the majority of blacks in the USA live in the south.

Just reading about a bit, it seems that the majority of Americans claiming English ancestry are found in the South, which surprises me a little, I would have thought it would be more in the North East.

Majority black in much of the South, but most of the whites have some English ancestry. I live in the South. At my high school I remember only a couple of whites with non-UK surnames, a lot of them English. Smith, Black, Johnson, etc. All of the blacks had UK surnames.

Really interesting map. You guys should bring all german brazilians to America... You would have at least 20 million of new white people helping you to produce more white children and would save us from the huge non-white population coming against us.

I don't think of me as brazilian at all. I consider myself being german despite some portuguese and italian blood as well ( im like 63% german). Actually I hate my country.

Jews are not European though! Just like in Deutschland they tried to claim they were Deutsche. They don't have European culture. Jews are a group of parasites. Why do you think in Deutschland they had their citizenship taken away.

Agree, and sad. The parts of my moms side that are Deutsche ancestory didn't come over until the 1850s and beyond and very likely fought against distant and not too distant relatives in World War One and Two.

Really sad how many in America fought against German relatives in World War Two and bash the Third Reich and all. If I were alive back then I'd try and join the Waffen SS if I could.

I'm not sure here in Missouri during ww2 if heavily German towns like Hermann MO, Ste. Gen had Third Reich supporters. I know in New England there was a number of German American's who supported the Third Reich.
